So, you’ve seen the glitchy, mind‑bending visuals in “The Matrix” and the fractured flashbacks in “Memento,” right? I’m curious – does that visual chaos actually help the story or just make it harder to follow? What’s your take on how those glitches play into the plot?
Sure thing, the glitchy Matrix visuals aren’t just a style‑choice—they’re a literal metaphor for how the protagonist is constantly questioning reality, so the chaos actually feeds the plot rather than just messing with your head. With Memento, those fractured flashbacks are the director’s way of making you feel the protagonist’s memory loss, so it’s a narrative tool that pulls you into his confusion, even if it makes you do a quick Google search for a timeline. In both cases, the visual chaos is a necessary part of the story, not just a gimmick.
